Kit Details and Pricing

​​The SimWareKits GNS 530 kit is a very accurate model of the popular General Aviation GPS unit. It uses the pop-out GNS530 as provided with X-Plane or the Reality XP GNS530.​We provide the custom and hard to find parts, you provide the easy to source parts and the labor. This results in a great looking, fully functional GPS unit for less than half the cost of other units.

​Here are the details:

The Kit Includes:

The 3D .stl files for the 35 plastic components

Sources where you can get the files printed

Two Elma dual encoders with soft touch knobs

Three custom circuit boards

All switches and potentiometers

All hardware

Pre-cut and crimped wire leads

White on clear printed label strip

Full Color downloadable Instructions with exploded views

Complete parts list and sources for the components you provide

Configuration files and instructions to connect the GNS530 to X-Plane

You Provide:

Plastic components from the 3D printer of your choice

LCD screen with HDMI interface (we give you the source info from eBay and AliExpress)

Total Building Cost: ~ $279Compare other sources at $750+ and they don't look as good, use the wrong size and aspect ratio screen. I have 2 kits on my simulator so I can run both COM 1 & 2, and have a second GPS for VNAV and keeping track of nearest airports.

Another Great Benefit:The Arduino Mega is capable of handling about 50 inputs / outputs in X-Plane. The GNS530 kit uses 25 digital and 2 analog inputs. The rest are available for you to use. You could build a switch panel to control your autopilot, lighting whatever!!
